The Kecleon Caper! (207)

The Kecleon Caper!

While on a Blimp, Ash & Co. meet two trainers who both have a Kecleon, a Pokémon which has never been seen before. It turns out that they dont feel good, so Brock gladly helps them out to feel fine. However Team Rocket who are on the blimp try to steal from the trainers on the blimp. The Kecleon see this and hide. Can Ash & Co. find them and stop Team Rocket?

If the gang saw the Kecleon in this episode then why in the Silver Conference did Ash act as if he has never seen one before?
Also, why did the woman call a purple Kecleon "Reddy"? She could have called it...Purply.....

Dunno how the dub handled it, but Satoshi was just suprised to see a Kakureon during the tournament. He knew what it was off the bat in the Japanese version. He was just shocked to see it in Hazuki's team.

Again, not sure how the dub handled it but in the Japanese version they were known as "Midori-chan" and "Azuki-chan" which pretty much means Green-chan and Purple/Violet-chan. This was an episode I missed when I stopped watching Johto and after having missed it for so long, I actually managed to get a hold of the Japanese version. This was an actually good Johto filler episode and was a nice way of introducing Kakureon. Not to mention, I can only guess that everyone was wondering how the hell to get one after the anime aired the episode. XD

Takeshi's reaction to the lovely ladies was priceless, and him trying to show off his Pokémon was just great. Too bad there weren't many Johto episodes as fun as this before we began reaching the end of the series.

That is true, but my guess is that Ash usually forgets what he sees sometimes and looks up the same pokemon twice.
Perfect example, in Pokemon Scent-sation, Ash saw a Gloom for the first time. But then in Pokemon Food Fight he looks up Gloom in the Pokedex. It also happened almost all of the times that Ash saw a Gengar.

Thing is that he never looked up Kakureon the first time he saw it earlier in Johto. His Pokemon Zukan had no information on any Pokémon beyond Kanto or Johto. He scanned Kakureon since he now had data to go by. As for rescans, it's simple and clever. You can't just go with one piece of voice data. Just like the GB/GBA zukan entries, there are multiple entries for a Pokémon and you learn different things with each version. So the more you know about the Pokémon, the better the advantage you have.

Didn't you find it weird that when Ash first saw Harrison's Blaziken in "Pop Goes The Sneasel!" he used the Pokedex to get info about it but it said that there was no data, in the battle against Harrison he used the Pokedex when he sent out Blaziken and it had info on it which I find weird...

Ookido-Hakase had given him and Shigeru an updated version of their zukan before Satoshi's battle with Shigeru.

i just saw the episode here, and i was wondering about the purple kecleon, is it just like the pink butterfree? a non-shiny pkm, just with different colours?
(maybe they both came from pinkin island but the purple kecleon ate some purple berries)

This episode was okay. Brock was the best part of this episode. I liked when he imagined the girls patting him on the head thanking them for getting their stuff back, freaking out when he saw he kecleons watching him, and getting chastised by Misty for trying to send Onix out on the blimp. I also liked the part when Team Rocket was hiding in the crate and Wobbuffet popped out, causing it to break moments later. LOL

I love this episode one of my favorite JLC episodes, not only do we get the introduction of our 1st Hoen Pokemon in the form of Keceon (also one of my favorite Hoen Pokemon) and we got the first of Meowth's "boss fantasies". I'm a bit surprised though that Ash never pulled of his Pokedex to look Kecleon up, he usually does that when he encounters a new Pokemon.

My Grandmother always said...
"She who walks the path of heaven will rule over everything"

Then I saw what an actual shiny Kecleon looks like, and went: "o... rly?"

xD *brick'd*

I actually enjoyed this episode, though. We haven't had too many episodes take place on a blimp, and Team Rocket actually made an effort to endanger peoples' lives this time around, instead of just being their usual idiotic selves.

Plus, Reddy and Greenie? AWESOME. Great personalities, and what a clever way to introduce 3rd Gen Pokemon. :3
